In such a confused world there are still simple conventions that everyone appreciates, and it seems that the first of them is the commitment of parents to children.
Even in the most advanced cultures, a simple and natural mother's love is the basic thing that people are fed from the moment they are born, learn to appreciate as they grow older, and cherish even when they look at it from afar (the author uses the feminine language because she is a mother, readers are invited to make adjustments according to their gender).

Modern culture is developed enough to accommodate non-parenthood precisely because it knows how demanding parental commitment is - you don't have to have children, but once you start it is your responsibility to take care of them and take care of them.
The cuckoo in Lea Goldberg's "Rental Apartment" is remembered for bad, one of the creators of our famous godmothers, who denounced in a bold manner the representation of the mother who does not know how to take care of the offspring.
The rabbit, who comes to inspect the property, refuses to settle in the building because of her neighbor the cuckoo, and says: "How can I live here, the mother of twenty rabbits, with a cuckoo who abandons her sons? All her sons grew up in foreign nests. All are abandoned, all are promiscuous. What lesson will my children learn from them? The cuckoo was offended , and the rabbit went away."
We are to blame.

The cuckoo is probably not aware that she is not guarding the children she brings into the world in large numbers, and when a mirror was placed on her - she was hurt and disappeared from the area.
The rabbit seemed to be afraid for her children, but maybe also for the parental standards, you never know.
Leah Goldberg deeply despises mothers who do not understand the magnitude of the responsibility placed on their shoulders, and in advance chose not to enter this family event.
Self-awareness.
Respect.
True, science claims that biologically, hormones are released at birth that make you a caring, attentive and anxious mother.
C'mon C'mon.
There is no hormone that postmodernism and the desire to be an independent and liberated woman has not won.
In the end it's all a question of values, vision and hard work.
From rabbit mode to cuckoo mode
The Israeli mother is one of the symbols of this war.
At the beginning of the battles, compare the strengths of the Jewish lioness, who educates for peace and service in the army and even eulogizes with an upright body, to the praise that the Palestinian mother showers on her terrorist son after he finishes slaughtering in the neighboring kibbutz and calls to update.
One against the other, commentators brought up lines comparable to Telegram, and thought that this way the world would see that Israel is right.
But it is not enough that the Jewish mothers remain loyal to the parental line that brought these children into the world.
The State of Israel must also remain loyal: to the parent line that sent the soldiers to gather, that sent to surround the citizens, that continues to mark the Independence Day of this country on the calendar.
The State of Israel must also remain loyal: to the line of parents who sent the soldiers closer,
The parental responsibility of the state goes from rabbit to cuckoo status, and this crack is celebrated by our enemies in the Arab countries, and with this crack we are happy to be in The Hague.
You can understand them.
Every human being will look and be shocked, every parent will be amazed at the sight of his eyes.
A woman whose neighbor kidnapped her child on October 7th, and who also happens to be the building's maintenance man, announces on October 8th that there is no electricity, water or internet until her child returns.
A lioness mother will refrain from reaching with a sharp object the one holding her son, just so as not to spoil the strategy that will cause the cruel fool to break and free the cub.
Even if this mother has haters among the other neighbors in the building, they will appreciate her every steadfast act on the way to freeing the kidnapped child, because parenthood is a value that both the old world and the new world believe in and sympathize with.
But in our case, the mother - hereinafter referred to as the State of Israel - not only did not take a strategy that a normal mother takes, she actually chose to imprison Isaac.
The neighbor with the kidnapped son went into the kitchen and prepared food deliveries for the kidnapper and his family members.
At first it might have been thought that there was another strategy here to distract the kidnappers, but it quickly became clear that with parents like this - who needs enemies?
Once upon a time there was a chosen people who cared about themselves.
Once upon a time in the family of nations there was one small Israeli family, where the parents did everything for their children.
Today?
For a ticket to the jet club, they will forget the child at noon until the twelfth grade. And these parents are everyone who stands on top of us, and this child is us.
With the participation of the families of the abductees: the march of identification with Israel outside the court in The Hague

The shipment of medicines that came in this week to "help the abductees" is the picture of victory.
of Hamas.
The State of Israel has finally disintegrated from its self-respect and commitment to the security of its citizens.
Babies, old people, soldiers and guys who have been abused in captivity for three months don't need medicine, because there is no longer any medicine that can help.
When the State of Israel sees a truckload of medicine for its kidnapping as an achievement, after hundreds of humanitarian aid trucks reached those who abuse the best of its sons and daughters, it mocks this best, it humiliates itself and it declares that the value of life in the State of Israel has destroyed itself.

You can understand the lack of trust that we see in the world - this is not how a parent behaves when his children are kidnapped, his daughters are abused and his family is murdered.
This is not how a country under existential threat behaves;
A country that after three months of fighting is afraid of the word occupation and Sugar Daddy Biden, prefers to withdraw de facto from its borders and resettle the evacuees "temporarily", abandons the homeless from the north and south border, the reservists who left everything to win and discovered that the government is not interested, the abductees who saw trucks Aid for the Gazans and zero negotiation skills for them.
We deserve to stand trial in The Hague, but not for the treatment of the Arabs - for the treatment of the Jews.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
